This is the city: Los Angeles, California. I work here. I'm an ex-mayor. Los Angeles is a magnet for people from all over the world. Some of them run for public office. Inevitably some of them stray from the golden rule and rule for those that have the gold. That's when I go to work. My name is Yorty. I'm a dead pol.

Signs out of the Central Valley that State Senator Dean Florez is realizing he doesn't have the name ID nor the mojo to wrest the Democratic nod for Lieutenant Governor from Clowncil Member Janice Hahn.

Capitol Alert asks if Florez may now have cold feet, citing her high name ID in Southern California.

No doubt that many voters in LA County know the Hahn family; how many however know how much of a blithering idiot she is?

Through the primary and general elections California's voters will find out; however it may not hurt her chances when they do. Her likely Republican challenger Abel Maldonado isn't much brighter.

Councilwoman offers an apology after photos are posted of her car parked in a handicapped spot.

By Steve Hymon, Times Staff Writer

The buzz around City Hall on an otherwise quiet Friday: the posting of photos online of Councilwoman Janice Hahn's car parked in a handicapped spot.

The anonymous posting on the political blog called Mayor Sam's Sister City — a reference to the late Sam Yorty, a former Los Angeles mayor — included a photo of Hahn's car, a hybrid, parked in the City Hall garage and showed her license plate number.

The photo of the car illegally parked was taken at a Blue Line train station in Watts, where Hahn and Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa attended an event on Thursday marking the 40th anniversary of the Watts riot.

Many postings on the site are anonymous and it's widely assumed around City Hall that many of the bloggers either work or have worked for the city.

That the photo was taken in the City Hall garage — which is not open to the public — is also a hint that a City Hall employee took the photo.

Hahn heard about the posting and apologized Friday in media interviews. She said a staff member was driving the car and that the individual had been "severely reprimanded."

"Someone was picking me up, I was not driving the car," she said. "We were short on time and I think they were trying to get as close as they could to where I was speaking.

"I'm embarrassed, I'm absolutely embarrassed, it's something that I personally would never do and something I have no sympathy for when other people do it," she added.

Didn't Janice Hahn staffer get arrested for DUI in a city car and she didn nothing?

HELL NO WILL JAN PERRY EVER BE MAYOR. Why is Bill helping her campaign on the Westside???""""""At last night's informational meeting in the Westdale neighborhood on air pollution around Santa Monica Airport, the host — Los Angeles councilman Bill Rosendahl — made sure the audience knew that his colleague Jan Perry, who also attended, was thinking seriously about running for mayor — in 2013

That's a good point about Jerry Brown's age. He's only eight months younger than John McCain so if he is elected he would actually be about a year and half older than McCain would have been at inauguration had be become President. Not that I think Jerry is too old to be Governor but it makes a good point about Janice.

Since the LA Slimes and Daily News are toliet trash papers and spin for politicans will someone find out if it was Tony Cardenas who spoke to the judge and supported letting a MS 13 gang banger free on bail yesterday. The tv media aired the story and LA Weekly has good piece but no other local paper.

Jerry Brown will be our next governor. He's old but with age comes experience none of the clowns on council would ever get even in if they had another 50 years. They are the joke of the nation and Los Angeles. Pathetic Hahn, Perry, Greuel, LaBonge, Zine or any of them would even think they are suited to be elected after the diaster they have been as council members

I don't know a thing about Janice Hahn, and don't even live in California, yet have been repeatedly spammed by her campaign.

After emailing her campaign for the 3rd time asking that they unsubscribe me (the prior two emails requesting the same having no effect), I was forge-subscribed to the GOP and NRCC mailing lists. This is not only illegal and unethical, but is quite juvenile on their part.

For the record, here's the email I sent them, showing the email addresses to which I sent the (3rd) request to be unsubscribed, and the (3rd) spam they sent me.

For the THIRD TIME: I did not request this, have no relationship with the sender, and do not even live in California. However, I have now decided to determine who your opponents re, and will both contribute to them and will share your unrelenting spamming history with them. I have also added your address and the domains of your spam-sender to our filters, so they are always rejected.

In 2008 we came together to make history ? We picked up phones and knocked on doors up and down this state to support Hillary in her bid for President. It was an ambitious goal, and I'd like to thank you again for all the heart and soul you put forth that year. We're proud of Hillary's run, and excited by the amazing work she's doing as our Secretary of State.

But today, I ask for your help in supporting another amazing progressive woman ? LA Councilwoman Janice Hahn, who's running for Lieutenant Governor here in California. Since the moment I met her, I realized she has what it takes to set a new course for our great state ? one with good jobs, access to quality education, and funding for lifesaving local services.

Will you help me continue the movement we started in 2008, make history, and elect California's first female Lieutenant Governor? Republicans are poised to nominate their first-ever woman for Governor ? let's make history too. Sign-up to become a supporter or volunteer for Janice, click here now: http://janicehahn.com

California needs a new direction, and Janice has the credentials, ideas, and determination to make this a reality. I know we can turn our state around and bring real change to California, but it's going to take all of us.

OMG Janice Hahn is a bimbo. She is an embarrassement to her father's legacy. She campaigned for her brother but when the loser Antonio got in she quickly started kissing his butt. Today she's embarrassing herself being in front of every presentation in council. She's taken thousands from AEG then hypocritically criticizes the city attorney. She is a shameful example of what women can become when they get a little power. Her own constituents are not voting for her as LT. Gov. She doesn't support cops as the KTTV Chris Blatchford video plainly showed.

Well let see how much money is the printer going to contribute to Hahn campaign, since he love to give money away. Money to him is no object. Since he always help Eddie boy, and her lady friends. What the company don't know it does not hurt.Hey Ray you are very slick person, in hidding money from your woman.
